The world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking has just visited Stockholm and presented an idea for a solution to a 40-year-old paradox about black holes. Next week the astronomer Bengt Gustafson’s book on how our knowledge of the remarkable black holes have evolved since the first theories in the 1700s.

The world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking has just visited Stockholm and presented an idea for a solution to a 40-year-old paradox about black holes. Next week the astronomer Bengt Gustafson’s book on how our knowledge of the remarkable black holes have evolved since the first theories in the 1700s.

– If you feel that you are stuck in a black hole. Do not give up. There is a way out.

Stephen Hawking ending to the lecture at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Center on Monday night was greeted by a standing ovation from the 3,000 audience in the packed courtroom.

Ad:

– It is true that reality can surpass the poem. Black holes are more remarkable than any science fiction writer could find, he initiated delivered an hour earlier.

The 73 years old man completely paralyzed physicist has gained an almost mythical status: the genius who is locked in his own body. The lecture, which he delivered with the help of a computer, which he controls with his cheek, was all right for black holes: their strange characteristics, what we know about them and what we do not know.

The biggest mystery is where the information about everything that falls into the hole goes.

– I have now discovered how the information is preserved, said Stephen Hawking, and promised to present his theory at a seminar at the Royal Institute of Technology KTH, the following day.

A black hole is so heavy and so strong pull that not even light can leave it. Everything passing hole boundary – the event horizon – will fall down in a bottomless pit and never return. Stephen Hawking compares it with the canoe at Niagara Falls. As long as you are above the waterfall, you have a chance to meet you, only you are strong enough in the arms and have the energy to paddle against the current.

– But as soon as you get over the edge you are lost, says Stephen Hawking .

In the mid-1970s he discovered that the holes are still not completely black. They give off a very low heat radiation and will eventually evaporate. But then also disappears information about everything that has been sucked into the hole. It goes against quantum mechanics, which states that information can not be destroyed.

– I spent much time and effort to get rid of this embarrassing effect, says Stephen Hawking.

Since then , physicists have tried to resolve the information paradox and find out what happens when the universe’s black holes evaporate and disappear. The number of years until it takes is a one with 70 zeros after or more.

– One of the biggest problems in physics is therefore about what happens in a so-distant future. Tell ahead, says Bengt Gustafsson, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at Uppsala University.

The problem is one collision of physics two basic theories: quantum mechanics, which describes the smallest components, and the general theory of relativity, which deals with gravity, development of the universe and the planets, stars and galaxies move.

– New physics always sets things to a head. The clearest example is from the period around the turn of the century, when it became a direct contradiction between Newtonian mechanics and the man knew about electromagnetism. It led eventually to Einstein’s special theory of relativity, says Bengt Gustafsson.

According to general relativity, a black hole just three properties: mass, rotation and electric charge. So there is no way of knowing if that had fallen into the hole was a bus or a sewing machine, or even if it was a matter or antimatter. The major problems of quantum mechanics ban on destroying information.

Physicists have taken different routes in trying to resolve the paradox. Some want to preserve the general theory of relativity, the second quantum mechanics, and there are solutions that use the so-called string theory.

– My suggestion is that the information is not stored inside the black hole, but on the horizon, said Stephen Hawking at the seminar KTH Tuesday.

The idea, he developed with Malcolm Perry at Cambridge University and Andrew Strominger at Harwarduniversitetet in the United States, and it builds on theories from the beginning of the 1960s. The three physicists believe everything disappears into the black hole, leaving the four-dimensional mark in the so-called space-time – a way of looking at space, with time as the fourth dimension – around. The information is retained, but in a very esoteric form.

– It’s like firing up an encyclopedia. Everything is left in ashes, but it is difficult to read, says Stephen Hawking.

He and his colleagues call the imprints of gravitational charges. They let the black holes an additional feature. Stephen Hawking joins thus now the scientists who want to preserve quantum mechanics and modify general relativity.

Bengt Gustafsson very fascinated by the research on these strange objects in the universe. Next week his book “Black Holes”, which describes how the theories of them have evolved over more than 200 years.

Founded in 1783 wrote the English clergyman John Michell in an article about dark stars, which were so large and heavy to light can not manage this, and suggested that there could be many such in the universe.

Since physicists discovered that light was a wave, and thought that it could be affected by gravity. The ideas about dark stars were therefore buried up until Albert Einstein formulated the theory of relativity. But it was not until around 1960 that black holes won great support among scientists.

The American physicist John Wheeler usually considered to be the one who coined the name black holes, but the book shows Bengt Gustafsson it was another American, Robert Dicke, who is the real author. He took the name from a terrible prison, the black hole of Calcutta, a four times five meters large cell in which 146 British soldiers were detained one night in June 1756. Almost all choked to death.

– You can think how the prisoners there reached up to the little window, just like the light that tries to come out of the black hole without success, says Bengt Gustafsson.

Now, physicists view Stephen Hawking’s suggestions and check how much it is where. Bengt Gustafsson is doubtful how played out against the media and the general public gaining influence over research.

– We have seen a number of physics event where researchers have gone around the traditional audit and presented new half-baked results in great excitement, said he said.

Stephen Hawking shown the path he has chosen. The future will tell whether it was right.

– I think we will have to live with this issue for some time to come, says Bengt Gustafsson.

According to a survey by the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat explains. Of the fifteen municipalities in the top six countries in Ostrobothnia. Happiest in all of Finland’s population of Korsnäs five mil south of Vaasa.

The study compared the proportion of children who were the clients of child welfare and the proportion of the population who ate antidepressants.

In addition, compared to how many sick days the working population received sickness allowance for and how many how many suspected of a crime that has been made under the influence of intoxicants.

Three give music listeners sour cream in their subscriptions for mobile data and mobile broadband. This means that the amount of data consumed when the music is streamed from the three music services Spotify, tidal or Deezer will not be deducted from the customer’s monthly pot.

This applies to all company subscriptions are prepaid, but might make the greatest difference for those who have a subscription with a bit of data. Tres lowest data pool is 0.5 gigabytes per month, equivalent to over 100 hours of music listening on mobile phones.

According to a survey made by the company with the help of the Youth Barometer holds 33 percent of the Swedes back to music listening to the fear that consuming too much of their surfing pot. Now hope Three to calm the turmoil and at the same time might attract some additional customers on the purchase. If the offer may be relevant also for its prepaid customers, the company’s CIO Kamran Alemdar not answer today.

It might happen later, he says.

When it comes to other music than the three available from the start, so it may be necessary depending on whether there is interest and if it is technically possible for three to sort out the streaming music from another data transmission from the service.

SVT has seen the contents of a secret offer from the company China Railway Construction. The final cost is where the 145 billion instead of 170 billion. High Speed ​​Line will according to the Chinese proposal built on bridges that go five meters above the ground. It is the most common way of building high-speed lines in China and other parts of Asia.

Railway expert Per Corshammar has long campaigned for Sweden to learn from China, which soon expanded its when the speed of the train.

-From having been 50 years since China is now ten years before when it comes to rail. They have bought into technology and improved it. Now they run away from us, ‘he said in a previous interview in New Technology.

Benefits of bridges include:

Cheaper construction techniques by using precast concrete.

It takes less valuable land.

Less material consumption.

Snow blowing simpler of the tracks and the risk of wildlife collisions are reduced.

Karin Svensson Smith (MP), Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Transport, says SVT that in a week traveling to China and Japan to learn more about the construction method by bridges.

– Half the Committee go to Japan and half to China to study the high-speed and efficient movement of trains, and there will be a lot of studies to build the bridge, especially in China, says Karin Svensson Smith to SVT.

The image when the Syrian refugee Abdul sells pens with her four-year daughter in her arms spread across the world.

Without his knowledge gathered 80 thousand dollars into the family – in a day .

– When he heard it, he broke down and started crying, says activist Gissur Simon Arson.

An anonymous pen salesman in Beirut was one of the week’s biggest buzz on social media.

The Icelandic activist Gissur Simon Arson saw the picture which was a refugee from Syria to become known throughout the world.

With her daughter sleeping in arms, he goes around trying to sell their pens.

– It is a very emotional picture. You can see in his face and how he keeps pens that it is the only thing he has in this world, says Simon Arson CNN.

Fled War, Syria

Gissur Simon Arson tweeted the picture, which one does not know who took to his 6,000 followers and received immediate response from people who wanted to help the family. He started a collection – and after 24 hours he had received 80,000 dollars from thousands of people all over the world.

With the help of social media and activists, he managed to find the family two days later.

It turned out that pen salesman named Abdul. He fled the war Syria together with her daughter Reem, 4, and son Abdelillah, 9, three years ago.

– When he heard about the collection, he broke down and started crying, saying Gissur Simon Arson CNN.

The money will help children go to school

Abdul says he’ll use the money for children’s education and to help other refugees.

– He was so grateful. He thanked once again for everyone’s generosity, says Gissur Simon Arson.

The researcher and surgeon Paolo Macchiarini at Karolinska Instituet, KI, cleared of allegations of research misconduct. It decided Institute’s Vice-Chancellor Anders Hamsten day Friday.

We’ve found that some deficiencies exist, but they are not to be regarded as scientific misconduct, he says in the press release from KI.

Paolo Macchiarini carried out during the years 2011 to 2013 five operations in which seriously ill persons received a new windpipe coated with stem cells from their own bodies. Three of the operations were performed in Sweden.

After two of the patients died, and a third is intensive care for more than two years after surgery Police reported the Swedish Medical Products Agency and the Agency for Health Care.

To Paolo Macchiarini now cleared of allegations of research misconduct does not mean the deal is completed. KI would not comment on the ongoing police investigation.

The comprehensive investigation of fraud made at KI has shown that cooperation needs to be improved between Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital. According to the Institute’s rector will now take inter alia, to develop “better procedures, regulations, and support structures for clinical trials and treatment research.”

It started on Tuesday with Gissur Simon Arson on his Twitter published two pictures of a man and his daughter. She hangs knocked over his right shoulder while he was trying to make some money by selling ballpoint pens streets of Beirut. Many touched by the picture and tweeted on the images.

Soon, Simon Arson questions if he could try to locate the man and with the hashtag #buypens search began. Several of micro-blog users in Beirut helped, and shortly later had established contact with him – Abdul, Palestinian refugees from a camp in Damascus and single parent to 9-year-old Abdelillah and 4-year-old Reem.

Simon Arson, who resides in Oslo, felt motivated to try to help Abdul and his children, so he started a collection of Indie Gogo with the objective of $ 5,000. But sunshine story has been widely and in writing, lunchtime on Saturday, has skramlat $ 116,545. Abdul wants to use the money for their children’s schooling and to help other refugees.

Apple has sent out the official invitation to an event that will be held Wednesday, September 9, at 19.00 Swedish time. “Hey Siri, give us a hint” reads Apple’s invitation and will reportedly introduce new iPhone 6s.

“Hey Siry, Give Us a hint” will be streamed live from the Bill Graham Civic Center in San Francisco for Iphone Ipad, Safari, Apple TV and even Edge on Windows 10, announces Apple.

What the new upgraded iPhone will contain, in addition to upgraded camera, A9 processor and manufacturing materials remains to wait.

Instagram allowed previously only square images, but now it announces service to portrait and landscape shots are also welcome.

Previously, users could only upload square photos to Instagram, but now face photo service two new formats. Both portrait and landscape images or videos are now welcome. Instagram presents the new formats via his blog.

“It turned out that almost one in five pictures or videos that people upload not square, and we know it has not been easy to share this kind of material on Instagram: friends cut from group shots, it gets crowded space for your video and you can not catch the Golden Gate Bridge end to end. “

The new formats are available in version 7.5 of the app. When users upload new pictures or videos is a new little icon that switches between the familiar square format and the origin of the material format.

Another novelty is that the video clip now have access to the same filter as photographs , earlier there was a separate set of filters for motion pictures. You can also adjust the intensity of a chosen filter.

What was the key issue at Friday’s news conference was whether the cheating accused surgeon had engaged in medical or research at the high-profile operations at the Karolinska University Hospital.

Health care was the answer that both the hospital Karolinska Institute landed in.

– There was a vital indication, it was about saving lives and there were no other available therapies. The overall did that when we looked at the patient’s best so we chose to go ahead with these measures, says John Bratt, chief physician at Karolinska University Hospital, told Dagens Medicin.

Karolinska Institutet’s President Anders Hamsten is open to the distinction between research and health care is difficult.

– What we have come to is that the decision that was taken into the hospital’s ethics council in no way included the research. Decision concerned the surgery and what was available was this experimental treatment. To monitor the effect it has since used the analyzes normally not even used in the university health services, he said.

The fact that the Swedish Research Council earlier this year withdrew its funding for the renowned surgeon, he calls unfortunate.

– I assume that the Swedish Research Council will re-examine this.

Meanwhile, the world-renowned surgeon’s research is not entirely flawless. The first of the seven articles that questioned shall be completed and according to Anders Hamsten for even the surgeon discussions of clarification with another magazine.

Was the errors in the first article revealed if the surgeon had not been notified?

– I am not sure. The magazine has been doing a rigorous peer-review and we must all assume that all operators comply with the requirements of good research. Then there is another thing that does not always achieve the highest possible quality, but it is not scientific fraud.

Anders Hamsten do not want to speculate on the possible connection between the charges against the surgeon and the data concerning disagreements in his research group. At the same time, notes the rector of the Karolinska Institute, can not escape the fact that several of the complainants were involved and thus endorsed some of the surgeon’s scientific works.

– They had every opportunity to make their voices heard before the manuscripts sent in, but registrations are coming much later in the process. There have also been complaints against complainants. The conclusion can not be other than that we have a research environment that has fallen apart and we have to manage it so that everyone can move on.

According to Säpo has up to 300 people traveled from Sweden to join the terrorist organization IS. Terror trips have ended with that 40 people died during or in connection with the conflict.

Minister Anders Ygeman (S) today announced the Government’s new Terrorism Strategy, at a press conference in Rosenbad.

He began by recalling the attacks and acts that have taken place or planned close to Sweden such as Anders Behring Breivik’s attacks in Norway, the planned action against Jyllands-Posten, and if the incident on Drottninggatan in Stockholm when a man blew himself to death.

Since 2010, the rate in terms of terrorist threats increased in Sweden. The government now wants to move on, and entrusts the police and the Security Service to work in line with the new strategy. The latter is divided into three blocks: prevention and aggravating measures.

Here are some of the proposed new measures:

Terror Travel, training and collection of financial resources to be used for or to prepare terrorist acts to be criminalized in the fall.

Today’s secret surveillance , such as wiretapping of landlines, reviewed in a government report, in the light of technological developments and the emergence of other platforms that are used to communicate.

Security Service, Must and FRA should get easier for IT secrecy among themselves, to exchange digital information, within the framework of the NCC; National Center for terrorhotbedömning. Today to get these simply exchange information via paper.

The digital development increases the vulnerability of society. The Government therefore wants to make it mandatory for government authorities to report cyber incidents, and that a new system is set up for this.

The penalties for smuggling weapons , grenades and explosives substances should be tightened up – and control of substances that can be used to make bombs, will increase.

In addition, opportunities abusing Swedish passport suppressed. The biometric information on fingerprints and face shape which is embedded in passports should be greater beasts today used to verify that someone is not borrowed or rented a passport.

National Task Force to be able to get the support of task forces in other countries.

A text messaging service to be introduced to warn people with cell phones in a certain area. It requires, however, a change in the law on the police to obtain information from the operators about the people staying near mobile masts in emergency situations.

The police will increasingly can take the help of the Armed Forces during attacks . It can be for example to take the help of helicopters and special forces.

Anders Ygeman expects to put forward some of the proposals before Parliament this autumn. While some measures banning terrorist travel should be introduced before the Christmas break

– Real power we will probably get even now. Yesterday the Government decided on the police and SAPO’s new missions and they should start working for them. Then comes probably other parts have an effect until this winter when the parliamentary treated, he said.

On September 9 beats Apple opened the doors to the Bill Graham Civic Center in San Francisco and is launching a new iPhone. But what should it contain, and what other exciting news to come?

Rumor: New iPhone get Force Touch screen

One of the hottest rumors that went around the iPhone 6S is that it comes equipped with a touch sensitive screen, the Apple calls Force Touch. The technology first came to Apple Watch and later to the Macbook and Macbook Pro.

More and more sources have confirmed this, and as late as a week discovered a piece of code in a beta version of IOS 9 which reveals the plans.

Do not Miss: Iphone 6s – then it released, features, rumors and news?

Rumor: iPhone 6S accompanied by an Iphone 6C

Here is reputed carousel become more of a roller coaster. Apple will release an updated version of the iPhone 5C called iPhone 6C? Some sources have stated yes, others no. Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, says that iPhone 5S will prices be lowered and given the role instead.

According to 9 to 5 Mac is the most likely scenario that Apple will keep the iPhone 5S as the cheapest model while the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be between the models and the new phones, of course, top models.

Reputation: Significantly better cameras in the iPhone 6S

Apple usually improve the big camera on the back of the iPhone every year, and we can definitely expect that there will be news. However, it has been circulating various rumors of more extensive improvements to both the camera and FaceTime camera on the front.

The main camera is said to example, able to go from 8 to 12 megapixels with a new Sony sensor – it would be the first time in several years, as Apple increases the number of pixels of the iPhone. But none of these rumors has been clearly confirmed by credible sources now that the launch pulls closer, so we will not be surprised if, after all, is a little more modest improvements.

– We can not comment launches that have not been and has not been seen in the media, says Volvo spokesman Stefan Elfström to Resumé.

In September last year, came the news that actor Stellan Skarsgard would fronta a commercial for the new Volvo XC90. But when the film premiered, it was instead the artist Avicii who appeared in the movie.

According to the advertising magazine Resumé stopped the Volvo film because it was not good enough.

It stopped the film should have been recorded in Dalarna summer 2014 Skarsgard drove an XC90 on forest roads and bathed naked in a lake in the movie.

Not the same advertising agency

The film was recorded by Volvo’s global agency Grey, and not Forsman & amp ; Bodenfors behind the acclaimed concept “Made by Sweden”.

But the film remains a closely guarded secret. Instead, it became Avicii, who, although he has no driver’s license, became the face of the XC90.

– We can not comment introductions that are not made and not appeared in the media. Moreover, it is no campaign I know in detail, says Stefan Elfström, corporate spokesperson at Volvo Car Group to the Resumé.
